Suffer is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins and is the sixth track on their debut record, Gish. Opening up with a simple drum rhythm, the remaining instrumentation soon joins in the mix as well as Corgan’s vocals. For some reason, I’m slightly reminded of The End, a song …

I am amazed at just how low the general rating for this album has been so far across the internet. I think it may have something to do with the hipsters being disappointed that another one their underground indie bands are making a push for commercial success. I don’t …

Climbing To New Lows is the debut album released by MGMT. Though most fans associate MGMT with Oracular Spectacular, or Congratulations to a lesser extent, I still believe that Climbing To New Lows has some good songs on it and shouldn’t be written off as a poor debut effort. …

The CD Evan and Jaron (this is the name of the group and the name of the album) was my first rock CD, although it is really just pop with a rock feel. Like pop, the music seems over-synthesized, with too many extra or computer-generated instruments. It …

As of October 9th I am a proud owner of my favorite band, All Time Low’s, new album called Don’t Panic. I was wary when I first listened to the new CD for several reasons. They are back on a small label, this was …

When first listening to it, I thought that this is pretty legendary, and what with the old school …

Probably the weakest Pink Floyd album ever. Actually, it’s not even a Pink Floyd album, maybe only in name, because it’s written, produced and perfomed by Roger Waters. I see it as a the third CD to the Wall pretty much, since it has the same style, musically. Thematically …
